ABSTRACT
In the healthcare professional training course, we educators occasionally encounter a few learners who “can get grades in the classroom, but are not good at practical skills.” It is possible to explain why this occurs by using “Multiple Intelligence Theory”. According to the theory, we input information while utilizing the three intelligences of visual-spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence in a complex manner. By having a perspective on what kind of cognitive individuality the learners have, we can prepare the scaffolding and appropriate learning opportunities.
ABSTRACT
Supporting learners in difficulties is difficult. It is the responsibility of hospitals, universities and other medical education institutions to respond effectively. Traditionally, there has been a bias against focusing on the learner and a tendency to be persuaded by teachers’ beliefs. However, the factors that can lead to learners having difficulties in education include not only the learners but also the educators and the environment. There are also pedagogical, psychological, and cultural approaches to analyzing each factor. In the future, we would like to suggest that a single supporter have more than one perspective. However, because of the context in which supporters are placed, there is a limit to the number of perspectives that can be taken. Therefore, it is hoped that medical education institutions will be able to provide a support system in which multiple supporters, from multiple positions and with multiple perspectives, can ensure a broad perspective.
